GOOD BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
a stirring Outlook for Lively spring
Trade.

A New York correspondent writes
There is n growing impression in trade
circles that business will be more active
during the coming spring than at any
time for several years past. Buyers in
unusually large numbers for this season
are in town and are purchasing liberal
quantities of goods, the transportation OF
when will soon swell the earnings Of the
railroads.
The irou trade which is by many regard
ed as the barometer of trade and industry
is in particularly flourshIng condition
New blast furnaces are being blown IN
every day, and Notwithstanding the in
creased production, prices show a tenden
cy to advance from the higher level Ie
Gently established. Indeed the fear is eX
pressed in conservative circles that the
boom will be Overdone. Wild reports are
ailoat in the papers about purchases OF
scrap iron in Europe. Should the specu-
latve fever run too high the result will
be, as it has been before the landing on
our shores of a portion of the super
abundant stock of pig iron being carried

been sold for S39 at the mill, aud Il sale of
81 in Chicago is reported.
Money is remarkably easy, particularly
in this city. Treasury disbursements and
the return of currency from the west is
reflected in rapid swelling of the sur
